One important way in which laser therapy adds energy is through photon absorption by mitochondria. Mitochondria, tiny organelles which have been called the "powerhouses" of the cell, are found in most lifeforms, including all plants, animals and even most bacteria. Mitochondria are able to absorb laser light which then activates a series of reactions to increase and store more cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

By increasing energy available in this readily accessible form, laser light is able to greatly stimulate the biological function of cells, tissue, and systems and even raise overall vital energy throughout the individual. "Bio" stimulation = Life stimulation!

When energy becomes available, the body can heal itself. Laser therapy has been shown to stimulate the regeneration of bone, blood, cartilage, nerve, and muscle and has been documented, moreover, to enhance the quality of healed tissue, so that in many instances it is stronger than the original. Laser therapy may be an ideal therapy as it may not only effectively address many medical conditions but also has been widely reported to increase general health and wellbeing as evidenced by improvement in a host of biological markers.
